by Though there was no change in the blue marlin standings since my earlier blog, there was a big change in the dolphin category which was slow to fill in. SECOTEN had looked secure with a 45.6 pounder, but Ava A boated a 46.2 pound dolphin.
Tuna have also been scarce, but Dugga Boy caught a a 171.1-pounder that was a yellowfin, rather than the usual bigeye. Yellowfins that size are scarce in the Atlantic though common in the Pacific.
The wahoo category remains wide open, though Reel E Bugging pulled ahead of Wolverine with a 28.8-pound entry.
The Day 1billfish totals for 171 boats were 35 blue marlin, 10 sailfish, and 6 white marlin.
